The multi-award winning Harry Hill’s TV Burp will return for an eighth extended series this autumn. This year has already seen the show scoop three Bafta Awards (two UK and one US) pick up a Royal Television Society Award, and be nominated for the forthcoming National Television Awards.
Series seven produced countless memorable moments including: Harry’s cover of the Bongo Song by Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack’s Calista; a bionic Dean Gaffney being chased round the TV Burp studio while providing his own hi-tech soundtrack; high-kicking dancers heralding the arrival of ‘massive star’ Amanda Lamb on Sally Morgan: Star Psychic; and some of the biggest names in TV exclaiming shock to Harry after hearing the news that Emmerdale’s Val had… cataracts!
Viewers can look forward to the big-collared comedian returning for a bumper run of 25 episodes, including a review of 2008 over the Christmas holiday period and – for the first time – four extra shows in the New Year bring together the best all time TV Burp moments. As always, Harry will dish out a weekly helping of clever quips and side-splitting sketches, served up with only the funniest clips, extra large laughs and a side order of silly that will have even the fussy Freaky Eaters queuing for seconds.
As it’s totally up-to-date there’s no way of telling what will feature, but all the major soaps are sure to be there, along with the big reality shows and whichever quirky telly gems catch Harry’s eagle eye. Who will join a very exclusive club and follow in the footsteps of Born Survivor: Bear Grylls and American Inventor as TV Burp cult classics? Not to mention which of our favourite soap stars will be on the receiving end of Harry’s trademark rib-ticklings? There’s only one way to find out….

The first episode airs on Saturday at 6.55pm
